The Audi Q8 55 TFSI-e Quattro 381hp is a 3.0L turbocharged petrol phev engine producing 381 BHP and 600 Nm from the factory. With a typical Stage 1 remap, output increases to approximately 500 BHP and 800 Nm — a gain of around 119 BHP (31%) and 200 Nm (33%).
This engine scores highly for remap suitability, with a balanced spread of gains across both power and torque — providing a noticeable improvement across the rev range. The tuning headroom is classified as high, based on the percentage gain available from the factory output.
From a technical perspective, the ECU is typically a Bosch MED17 (likely), and the transmission is manual and dsg/s tronic automatics are common depending on model/engine. some dsg/dual-clutch gearboxes have torque management; calibration may be torque-limited. at this torque level, transmission and driveline servicing history becomes especially important..
Considerations: High tuned torque: check transmission torque capacity and service history.. Large torque increase: drivetrain condition (clutch/gearbox) becomes more important at this level.
